bills and resolutions first go to committees that deliberate, investigate, and revise
them before they go to general debate. The majority of bills and resolutions never make it out of committee.

Yes, it is a reintroduction of the same bill. Answered by a visitor on Aug 12, 2009 2:22 AM -
Yes. This bill (H.R. 1009) never became law. This bill was proposed in a previous session of Congress. Sessions of Congress last two years, and at the end of each session all proposed bills and resolutions that haven't passed are cleared from the books. Members often reintroduce bills that did not come up for debate under a new number in the next session. See link for "Related Legislation" in the Navigation tab - upper right of this page.

There are states that have laws on the books to allow hemp cultivation, for instance Montana has had theirs on the books since 1996/97. The problem is that the states that have laws on the books have a restriction that a Federal permit be issued to allow them to cultivate hemp. The DEA continuously refuses to allow these required permits, there by disallowing the cultivation of hemp. North Dakota has recently begun proceedings to sue the Federal government/DEA to give these permits. |
